Yeah, I wanna crunch this for a PTQ / GP / PT itself and see what numbers come up.

I'm a big fan of those cards -- I'd love for them to be reprinted -- but between 64 lands main + 36 side I run into the issue of people needing to fetch basics and then we botch the manabases and they end up running much better with basics and then I wonder wtf I'm even doing with the utility...

So anyone who reads Wescoe's articles (and you should, if you like Magic media) knows that BW Tokens is a thing in Modern, and that it has, in his words, "game against anything." There's nothing quite like laughing at their Wrath and making four vigilant flying 3/3's the next turn. The strategy...

4 little dudes on average awwww yeah. i'm not sure it's worth it (since you're also spending 2RRRR on average over the course of two turns), though Spectral Procession is the definition of color-intensive and most people that aren't me find room for it in their cubes. i found this card to be...

RE. CONTROL -- Yeah, I agree that Legacy is the best way to model these decks. Pullulate your Cube with metaphorical Steppe Lynx and Gravecrawler and Bloodbraid Elf, but also Innocent Blood and Brainstorm and JTMS. It's the same principle behind your "high-quality removal, high-quality...

Bot: I use CardBoosterBot0 (I think?) -- don't sell singles to anyone but MTGOTradersBuyBot(1,2), the others will rip you off "rudely" (I always thought this was a funny term to apply to bots) Yep. 52.38% for typical sports betting etc. Interesting article topic (I'm gonna remind myself...

just m14 :)

i'm inviting myself to one of these skype credits: i used to do poker lessons over this medium

Today we did something a bit different -- team-draft (familiar to the Waddell crowd), though this time based on geographic things. The suburbanites were forced to come out of their hidey-hole and play in SEATTLE ITSELF, which is not something Wizards will make you do at GPs maybe ever again...

as i've been more social in paper magic lately what i've realized is that the main advantage of a playgroup isnt so much extra testing (though it's nice to hear about what other people are doing on modo too) but sharing cards. simply put, every playgroup needs a sugar daddy. the cube is my...

Lotleth Troll isn't a turd ok yeah it's kind of a turd. mmmmmmm salvage and raptor. salvage is a big hit, i'm still waiting to see if the raptor is good (probably isn't but who knows) here are my new potential design failures: Lotus Cobra (15/405 fetches might not be enough, though they...

fwiw i liked the tappedout model of this (one giant textdump for easy ctrl-f'ing) but i realize this might not be possible within the constraints of the (very worthwhile) customizable card characteristics. something like pucatrade's management might be doable, though

It's just such a subtle thing past a certain point that it's clear they're using it as an excuse for not fixing the bigger problems in their Cubes. I like to come up with New Yorker-style cartoons, the one apposite to this situaish is of an etherized (aetherized?) patient being yelled at by a...

can you please nix the 50-100 row limits, it's such a pain to update dem cubes when i have to hunt alphabetically for every card i wanna axe

Fuse though. I wanna have both? OK, so BR aggro has a ton going for it these days (best deck in ISD-RTR standard, quite good in AVR standard too, sometimes used in Modern as a burn shell or jund aggro shell splashing green for Goyf and Deathrite). But I've had much trouble translating this...

haha ok, so i wanted two signets that added up to everything but green, and boros / dimir seemed dumb and orzhov / izzet not great either. i then came up with this ex post facto rationale for UW / BR: the jund midrange deck always sucks in my cube, and most of that is because it has awful mana...

UPDATED LIST --- http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/114 out: some dead weight that people either played with too little or too much; white 4-drops in: mangara, fiend hunter, nevermaker, talrand, lotus cobra, etc. also revamped the utility land section (jason, check it) to look like this...

jason -- i agree on principle, but as a practical matter, is wizards really going to tell people to be less angry, or throw more money into the game? (spoilers: neither) -- anyway i'd argue it works both ways, all the scratching and clawing and rules-lawyering and community backbiting that...
